Re: Error with Windows Media Video 9 codec

I've had trouble with some but not all wmv and mpg files.

Sorry for the delay in my response.

When I try regscr32 wmv9vcm.dll, I get the following error message:

"wmv9vcm.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not
found. This file can not (sic) be registered."

Audio codecs for files playing without sound include WmPlug and
Windows Media Audio 9.1.

Thanks.

What Neil said already.

go to Start -> Run, and
type in

regsvr32 wmv9vcm.dll

If that doesn't fix you up, then this likely wasn't the source of your
issues. This file is for *videos*, not audio.

So stepping back: what file type is affected? What *audio* codecs do
those
files use?

OK, so what do I do now? Thanks.

OK, I checked last night and they've stopped including the v9 VCM at
all,
so
that shouldn't be a problem any longer.

Hi Zach. It was CCCP 14, released in February. Both DLLs are version
9.0.1.369. Thanks.

I think that's just CCCP being boneheaded. What are the file
versions
on
the two files? What precise version of CCCP did you install? I'm
less
than
amused. If you can get me that information, we should be able to
get
CCCP
fixed up. =\

I don't believe WMV9VCM was ever part of a Windows OS distribution,
so
it
shouldn't be affected by SFC.

I've been having trouble with some videos playing without sound.
I
thought this was an audio codec problem, but I downloaded the
Sherlock
program and got this message:

Warning: The following codecs were found broken:

"Video Codecs:

1. Microsoft Windows Media Video 9 (C:\WINDOWS\system32\c:
\PROGRA~1\COMBIN~1\Filters\wmv9vcm.dll)"

This is clearly a mistake. There's a wmv9vcm.dll in C:\Windows
\system32 and a wmv9vcm.dll in c:\Program Files\Combined
Community
Codec Pack\Filters, but, of course, there's no directory
C:\WINDOWS
\system32\c:\PROGRA~1\COMBIN~1\Filters\.

Could this be a registry file issue? If not, what may be wrong?
Thanks.
